unfortunately as far as I can tell, there is no way to hide cliffs in that way. I then thought that I could extend the terrain past where I needed it, then lower the terrain below the lava level and hide the edges. this does actually seem to work but it can get quite messy and after studying pictures of Cherno, I don't think this is how it was done. Am I on the right track? | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/S5ZAt.jpg) Now I assume you mean these? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/sNj4L.jpg) Yeah, I can't say I know how to do those. I'd just say it's a cliff type somehow modified. | ||

Does anyone know how the bridges were done on Cherno by Superouman? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=345022 Seems like an ESV secret. If you're not trolling, then that's sad. | ||

I don't think I should give anything away without the consent of those who are actually working with these bridges and came up with the design in the first place. | ||

wtf, I definitely typed this reply in a different thread. Gfire, am I close with this? I have tried it out and it is definitely doable, but I can't get it as compact as Cherno. Is there some hidden way to hide cliffs? On July 09 2012 08:34 OxyGenesis wrote: I think I've almost worked it out. basically, you build the terrain for the bridge, then you need to hide the cliffs so that you can see underneath it. Then you cover up any gaps with doodads. unfortunately as far as I can tell, there is no way to hide cliffs in that way.

To be honest I haven't made these bridges so I'm not exactly an expert. I did use the terrain lowering technique to make aesthetic little islands and things at heights which aren't standard, though. That's pretty cool. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VVWjv.jpg) EDIT works even better with diagonal cliffs. Time for more testing. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/eXZeB.jpg) | ||

 and i like your idea of using mar sara bridge with -0.3 height to hide the squares on the sides of the bridge | ||
